In this scenario, I've seen COM Surrogate take about 10GB of RAM and very high CPU usage. Note that the full path should be C:\Windows\Explorer.exe or C:\WinNT\Explorer.exe. While it's loading, Windows Explorer takes a crazy amount of memory (up to around 10GB) and very high CPU usage.Īlso, every time I right-click a folder and select Properties, it takes forever before the window appears. Explorer.exe and taskmgr.exe takes too much CPU power. Every now and then when I open a windows explorer window, it takes a few minutes while the "address" bar seems to be loading until the contents and the icons in the left pane appear. In the past few months I have been experiencing a performance issue.
